Interesting frog.

I took these pics of a frog a freind of mine has, i am pretty sure its a common spotted marsh, (Limnodynastes tasmaniensis)

The red pigment along its dorsal stripe is incredible! I have seen yellow and orange stripes in this species but not this red!

The red does not change with enviroment or food, its always just this red.
